What Causes Infertility?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Around 1 in 6 couples struggle to conceive. The most common cause of female infertility is failure to release an egg (lack of ovulation). The most common cause of male infertility is a lack of sufficient number of good quality sperm. Other factors like age, medical conditions and lifestyle choices can affect fertility. In 25% of couples no cause is found (Unexplained infertility).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I enhance my fertility?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both in men and women, smoking and drinking excessive alcohol can reduce fertility. Further advice on ways to enhance fertility<\/a> can been found on the NHS website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
